The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a warning regarding a potential nationwide protest should the governors of Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi states fail to rescind their decision to suspend school activities for five weeks during the Ramadan fasting period within a 72-hour timeframe.
In a statement released on Monday by its National Public Relations Officer, Samson Adeyemi, NANS characterized the school closures in the northern states as a violation of students’ rights to continuous education.
Adeyemi emphasized that this policy could jeopardize academic advancement and unfairly impact non-Muslim students.
